FAQs

Is it possible for a felony to be downgraded to a misdemeanor?

Yes. Certain charges, referred to as "wobblers," may be prosecuted as either a felony or a misdemeanor, based on the specific circumstances. A judge may reduce the charge based on your record, the facts of the case, or through plea negotiations. A knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer can fight to have the charge lowered and help protect your future.

Will I go to prison for a first-time felony?

Not always. While prison is possible, many first-time offenders may qualify for probation, diversion programs, or treatment-based alternatives. The outcome depends on the charge, your background, and the judge. An experienced trial attorney can work with the court system to reduce the penalties and help you avoid a long sentence.

Can a felony be expunged from my record?

Yes, many felonies may be expunged if you meet certain conditions. You usually must complete probation successfully and stay out of further trouble. Once expunged, the conviction won’t appear on most background checks, which can help with job applications, housing, and other important aspects of life.

What should I do after a felony arrest?

The best course of action is to remain silent and avoid speaking to police or local law enforcement without the presence of a lawyer. Contact a criminal defense attorney right away for clear legal advice. Saying the wrong thing early on can hurt your case. Get a strong defense started from day one.

How long does a felony stay on my record?

A felony stays on your record for life unless it’s reduced or expunged. This can impact employment, housing, and even your rights under workers' compensation. It’s important to talk to a lawyer about your options as soon as possible, especially if you're eligible for relief under California law.
